Command Reference Guide

SROS Command Line Interface Reference Guide DHCP Pool Command Set

network <address> [<subnet mask> or <prefix length>]

Use the network command to specify the subnet number and mask for an Secure Router OS Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server address pool. Use the no form of this command to remove a

configured subnet.

Syntax Description

<ip address> Specifies the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) of the DHCP address pool.

<subnet mask> Optional. Specifies the network mask (subnet) for the address pool. If the subnet

mask is left unspecified, the DHCP server uses the Class A, B, or C natural mask.

<prefix length> Optional. Alternately, the prefix length may be used to specify the number of bits

that comprise the network address. The prefix length must be preceded by a

forward slash ( / ). For example, to

specify an IP address with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, enter /16 after the

address.

Default Values

By default, there are no configured DHCP address pools.

(config-dhcp)#network 192.34.0.0 255.255.0.0

(config)#ip dhcp-server pool MyPool

(config-dhcp)#network 192.34.0.0 /16
